Police say an 18-year-old male threw his urine at an Eddy County Detention officer - not just once, but twice.

Anthony Duran was arrested Wednesday for two counts of battery on a peace officer, crimes which allegedly occurred in February.
Officer Rory Castaneda said he was called to the Eddy County Detention Center in reference to a disruptive inmate.

Detention Officer Thomas Lardie reportedly told Castaneda that when he opened Duran's cell door, the man threw a small cup full of his urine on him.

The urine reportedly missed Lardie's eyes and mouth but was enough to wet his uniform. Lardie was reportedly allowed to go home and change.

Two days later, Lardie said he was again checking on the inmates and came to Duran's cell.

Duran was reportedly standing near the back of the cell and hit three cups of urine at Lardie "without warning," according to the police report.
Lardie told Castaneda that the cups had reportedly been lined up and that Duran had pushed them all simultaneously.

Lardie again went home to change.

Lardie said Duran never showed signs of anger while throwing the urine.
